We made a real INK DEMON Animatronic!

in this video we're going to build a

real ink demon animatronic that actually

attacks you we're Jamie and J and we

love making scary animatronics on our

dog day video we got our first taste of

using pneumatics and we are totally

hooked we're going to do that again but

this time on one of our most requested

characters ever the ink

demon the ink demon is a character from

bendy and the ink machine but we're

doing a bigger kind of scarier version

from the second game bendy in the dark

Revival it's an awesome horror series

that takes place in a vintage cartoon

studio and the character is basically

like this corrupted cartoon that's come

to life also before YouTube I used to be

an animator so a horror game about

animation it's like a bunch of my

favorite things all squished together so

let's do this we're making this thing

life-size so it's going to be really

heavy which means it needs to be really

strong on dog day we had our friend help

us build this huge steel Mech which

worked perfectly so we're going to do

the same thing again only this time

we're going to make it ourselves we're

going to try to anyway so we got a bunch

of Steel we got some measurements we

even made these cute little Miniatures

to help us figure out the pose there is

one huge problem though we don't know

how to weld and unfortunately you can't

just duct tape and hot glue metal pipes

together luckily my dad's a welder and

he offered to give us a crash course

I've always been kind of intimidated to

try welding there's like hot metal and

gas and Sparks and it's just kind of

intense but once we tried it I was

surprised how quickly we were able to

get the hang of it and do some basic

welds look I made this weird thing wa I

love it okay I spent the last week or so

practicing and I'm pretty confident that

we can get started so let's do

[Music]

this you guys look I made a rectangle

woo it sure is a rectangle hey this is a

big deal okay this represents you know

learning a new thing and it's going to

hold up all of our hopes and dreams and

the ink demon I hope on the next step we

have to cut some angles and part of the

reason we made these cool Miniatures is

so that we could figure out the pose and

exactly what we wanted it to look like

and then we can come in here with a

protractor and we can use this to figure

out exactly what those angles are so we

can cut them

[Music]

[Music]

links we made legs they're so cool and

wait watch this ready it's going to

support you I hope so woo nice it's

really strong couldn't do that on PVC

nope so definitely the most challenging

thing so far with with the legs is these

actually are compound angles so the

bottoms they Bend inwards and backwards

which means you got to cut angles in two

directions and that took us a while to

figure out but you know we kind of just

took our time and did the protractor

thing and and it worked it did we cut

this first piece like four times but it

worked I think we're good to go to move

on to the next step yeah let's let's

keep going on him while Jay's welding I

need to figure out how we're going to

actually make the shape of the ink demon

so I had him weld me up a little leg to

do a test on the ink demon is very

sculptural he's got muscles that are

weirdly deformed and these ink blobs and

it's like it's a work of art and I have

to try and recreate that on top of Steel

so I have a couple ideas and I'm just

going to test it out and see if it

works so that was pretty easy to rough

out the basic shape we've got his Huff

we've got his weird reverse leg demon

horse thing we think it's called a hawk

got some start of a muscle here now

we're going to try something that we've

seen our friend Alan hops from stilt

Beast do a bunch of times and that is

sculpting with spray foam I think this

is going to work really well so I'm

excited to try

it okay I added another little part of

the waist right here and I also welded

up essentially a torso so there's like

you know the back and this is going to

be the shoulders and this is all going

to go right here but to attach it we're

actually going to use a hinge which is

going to get welded on and then this

whole thing is going to kind of go like

this and once it's attached we're going

to use this pneumatic air cylinder and

it's going to get attached right here

and as this pushes open and closed it

should make the whole thing move at

least that's the plan I've got half the

cylinder welded on the bottom and now if

we take this off you can see as the

hinge rotates the cylinder pushes it

open and close that's how we get our

movement all right it is dry and it's a

little bit more lumpy bumpy than I was

hoping I wanted more drippy bumpy lumpy

bumpy uhhuh it's lumpy bumpy so I got

this really cool fabric it's like this

you know it almost looks like wet ink

and My Hope was that I was going to wrap

this around here with some spray glue

and it would really fit the form the

problem is it's not nearly as stretchy

as I thought it was going to be so

instead of wrapping nicely it creases I

don't know maybe we can do something

else with this fabric I have a couple

more things I want to try I don't love

all of the line texture in here so what

I'm going to do is mix up some silicone

tinted black and see if that's going to

give me the drippiness that I'm looking

for the other thing is much simpler

we're just going to spray paint the top

part of this black and put a gloss coat

over it and see if we're happy with

that I mean that looks just like ink it

does it's really thick

too the silicone looks so freaking cool

especially compared to the top where

it's just the spray paint like this

looks like it's it's made of ink this is

is perfect I really hope it stays like

this it's been a few days and I finally

got this whole thing put together so

let's check it out at the top of the

shoulders we added a neck so the head

will attach right here and then there's

a cylinder which is going to allow the

head to move up and down on this arm we

added cylinders for the shoulder and the

elbow so this is going to be like the

attack arm so he's going to come up and

kind of be like like you know something

like that but I think we're finally

ready to test this thing and see if it

works oh I forgot what the cylinders

it's like there's no in between it's

open or closed so as soon as I plug it

in it's

like the whole thing he's like

[Music]

walking woo this is legitimately

dangerous like that would take your head

off we've made a death

trap all right that works

[Music]

what are you doing I was afraid of this

I'm

try okay this is not strong enough to

lift this enormous upper body I kind of

thought that might like as we built more

and more of this it's real heavy and I'm

I was thinking like this tiny little 3/4

in bore cylinder it's it literally can't

can't lift it so

are there bigger ones yeah for sure

there are definitely bigger ones there's

just no not even

close Okay I texted Mike from

hallucinations he's the one who built

our dog day Mech and the one we got

these cylinders from and I basically

asked him what to do he said to send him

a picture of this and he just says oh

crap yeah you definitely need like a 1

and A2 inch bore so twice the size of

this at least to lift this thing

up so we got to get some bigger

cylinders while Jay's out getting parts

I want to show you what I got him and my

dad for Father's Day they're hover pens

and they're made by novian the sponsor

of today's video Father's Day is almost

here and if you're looking for a super

unique gift for the dad in your life

these hover pans are perfect the hover

pan floats at the center of its base

without any electricity it's like magic

they designed it to sit at a perfect

23.5° which is the same angle as the

Earth's axial tilt this Interstellar

Edition also has the option to have a

meteorite shard in embedded inside which

is 20 million years older than the Earth

itself there are four great colors

available so you can get the version

that matches your dad's desk or

workbench or whatever everything we do

these days is digital so if you're going

to sit down and actually write or Draw

Something I think it should feel special

and honestly this is like the nicest pen

I've ever held and I really love like

the art meet space design aesthetic of

these it's just so nice my dad helped us

so much on this project and I can't wait

to see the look on his face when he gets

a space pin use code Wicked makers to

get 10% off your hover pen and get

yourself or the dad in your life an

incredibly cool gift there's a link

right in the video description that you

can click and get yours

today okay this is the air cylinder that

was not strong enough to lift up the

waist and this is the new one this

should be about four times stronger than

this little one so we're going to swap

this in but we do have a problem these

things right here are called cevis

mounts and Mike sent me these for the

small cylinders but unfortunately they

don't fit the big one and we don't have

any so we're going to make some

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

okay there it is look how big that thing

is I mean I'm probably going to learn at

some point what I've done wrong here but

as far as I can tell it's the same thing

it's just bigger so let's test it out

test number

one oh yeah yes I didn't think that was

going to work did you see that that was

awesome okay ready

[Music]

oh man this is great I'm going to have

to tune this a little bit of course so

pumped that was awesome it works hold on

I'm going to hook up the rest of it

waist

elbow comes

up okay this is going to take some

practice but uh all the parts work and

nothing's broken yet fingers crossed the

silicone has fully cured and the Sheen

has not changed a bit it's super shiny

and it still looks wet so that is

awesome if you put like your finger on

it it's going to get some fingerprints

and it's probably going to collect dust

over time but I think we should be able

to just wash it off yeah so it's fine

now that the body's ready to go I'm

going to start with the legs and

basically recreate what I did with the

test piece so first will be our foam

noodle pipe instulation thing and then

tint foil then our spray foam and then

paint and then silicone it's a lot of

steps

we had to pre-run all of the hoses down

the back of the legs and the foam didn't

exactly fit over all of that so I just

spand the Gap with some duct

[Music]

tape what you got going on over here we

are making the head do you remember on

catnap when we carved the huge head out

of foam and that was a total

[Music]

mess so on the next one we 3D printed it

for dog day and that worked really good

right that was amazing and since this is

also a steel frame we can 3D print the

whole head again and it'll support the

weight hopefully also we can get like

the teeth and the horns and stuff all

little details would be great I started

on the first piece this is going to be

the back of the neck and there's a steel

plate and this will get welded to the

neck and then it goes in here and kind

of bolts on and the rest of the head

will go like this as usual though

there's a ton of pieces and it's going

to take a really long time to print so

we're going to get that

started what's that what goes

there

[Music]

butt all right I made a wire frame for

his torso and this is like the start of

the shape of him uh we do this for a

couple of reasons one is he bends at the

waist so all of this needs room to move

inside of here so this like creates the

space for all the movement to happen and

then the other reason is this saves us

on materials so instead of having to

build up like this entire Mass with uh

foam and tin foil now we just have to

put a little bit of foam and tin foil on

there before we put on that tin foil

though we're going to make him a shell

out of duct tape like

[Music]

this all the 3D printing of the head

stuff is done it took about 4 days to

print all these parts on our bamboo Labs

printer and as usual we use 3D fuels Pro

pla filament to print all this stuff

it's an ultra rigid pla so it's like

really easy to print but super stiff

which is great for these giant heads so

we've got parts of his head we've got

his horns his teeth his jaw got

everything we need let's put them

together

so happy that that fit you guys it's

like you expect it to fit but I don't

know glue ups are always stressful cuz

you got wet glue and it doesn't you know

you don't have a lot of time and if it

doesn't work we'd have to start over

so look at that the jaw is going to

attach kind of like this on some hinges

and then it's going to rotate up and

down like that but there's a couple

things we got to do first before we put

this on this is the metal plate that we

said is going to go in this little hole

right here and then basically get welded

to this thing but we learned on dog day

that if we don't leave enough space to

actually get a wrench in there to you

know Bolt the bolts on it's like

impossible to get it on and off so this

time to fix that we're going to weld on

some captive nuts onto this plate so

that we can screw it right into the

plate

itself we could just go ahead and Bolt

the head on as it is but I really want

the jaw to like open and close so I've

gone ahead and built a few extra parts

like let's check them out so the first

thing I did is I bolted an air cylinder

inside the head that kind of attaches up

in the top there and then on the jaw

itself we built this extra arm thing and

this is going to attach to the cylinder

but also kind of pivot and when we put

it all together it should work and now

when the cylinder goes on and out the

jaw goes up and down it's pretty cool

now that it works we can glue in all the

teeth and finally hook it up to the head

[Music]

[Music]

he is so cool this thing is amazing we

tried to make it like the same size as

he is in the game cuz he's always kind

of looking down at you a little bit you

know so so he's like I don't know I I

think we nailed it while you were

working on the jaw I decided that I

don't want to do spray foam on him

because I think he looks pretty pretty

cool as is so I think if we just put

silicone on top of the tin foil it

should look good and it looks like you

added like a bunch of little bones and

stuff and detail yeah I added like his

ribs some chest like a collar bone just

a little bit more anatomy in there okay

before we move on can we test him I

think testing it is a really good idea

okay official test number one he's in

his default pose everything's plugged in

but uh here we go and please don't break

all right I'm going to start with the

head and the jaw here

[Music]

here okay so far so good there then we

got the

[Music]

arms okay all good there now let's see

with the

[Music]

waist he's up

[Music]

it works now we just have to add like 30

more pounds to it when we put the

silicone on yeah nothing can go wrong

with that

[Music]

did you hear that mhm well that's what

the cracking sound was it's very broken

I think as the head slammed down it just

like separated and uh it didn't break

all the way off but this is all cracked

back here so I'm going to have to take

this thing back off and fix it somehow I

don't know how quite yet but we're going

to do that and then in the meantime

we'll get started on the the rest of it

all right I'm going to start at the

bottom and work my way up so bottom is

the hoofs and to make those I'm going to

use some foam clay which I hate and love

at the same time it's it's really fast

to go on but it takes a little bit to

dry so we're going to do that now and I

swear I'm not avoiding silicone I might

be avoiding silicone

I'm also going to cover these gaps here

with some stretchy spandex material and

then we'll silicone over that and it

should still be able to open and close

with no

issues well it's pretty obvious where it

broke this is the bottom kind of of the

neck and it's split all along first

where I glued it but also like up in

here and the reason that happened is

because it goes on like this and it's

connected right here and as it was

slamming down all that Force just wanted

to like rip this apart so couple things

a we're going to reglue it so that it's

back to where it was and then we're

going to take some fiberglass and we're

going to basically do it on the outside

and the inside to like super secure it

together on top of that I also got some

braces which we're going to put inside

just to make the whole thing stronger

and if we do all of that stuff it'll you

know hopefully it'll

[Music]

work I've avoided it for long enough

it's finally time to do the silicone

once we do the silicone there's no going

back I can't add more muscles and make

more joints or any of that stuff he's

like locked in there so let's do it

[Music]

how's it going is it working working

this stuff is so thick though it's kind

of I it's it's very gloopy and drippy

but he's that's what he is right he's a

gloopy shiny ink monster yeah I think

gloopy drippy is good yeah

[Music]

there he is and all of his gooey Glory

he's so gooey and disgusting and it's

amazing he doesn't even have a head and

he's still scary like look at that yes

he is we added so much weight to him

like we used like four bottles of

silicone yeah and also like spend our

life savings on silicone that stuff is

so expensive yep but totally worth it

yeah it really does look awesome I'm so

excited I finally get to work on the

head this is like my favorite part the

ink demon has like these really cool

drips coming down his face that don't

quite go onto his gums and those were

not sculpted in the model so first thing

I'm going to do is sculpt those with

some epoxy sculpt

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

that's uh that's weird looking I know it

looks like he's got like a weird skin

condition going on right now but we're

going to put the silicone on and I swear

it's going to look better

[Music]

here he is what do you think I mean it

looks amazing is it way heavier it's so

heavy ink demon yellow that's what I

mean

[Music]

[Music]

home

[Music]

look how cool he is that's amazing I'm

so proud of you look at that that is

straight out of the

game are you happy with it so

[Music]

happy welding silicone making our own

pneumatics sculpting a whole body so

much of this project was trying stuff

for the first time and it kicked our

butts but that's how we keep learning

and getting better if we did it all over

again there's so much we do differently

but we're still really proud of how

awesome he turned

out before we see the final thing you

guys we just want to say thank you so

much for watching our Wicked shoutouts

this week go to 8-year-old Sophia who

drew us this crazy awesome picture of

dog day also to Zeta who's super into

science and engineering and big happy

birthday to Teddy and Landon we love

getting letters from you guys so please
